Title: Process for the production of carburetted fuel gas
Inventor: RUSCHIN KURT
IPC: C10K3/00
Filed: 1962-05-02
Abstract: A continuous process for producing carburetted fuel gas comprises adding a distillate hydrocarbon oil and an oxidant comprising air or oxygen or both to a stream of hot, lean combustible gas, passing the mixture through a reaction zone, controlling the addition of the oxidant to maintain a temperature in the zone of 550 DEG  to 1000 DEG C., and controlling the addition of the oil to yield a carburetted fuel gas of predetermined calorific value.  The oil is preferably a light distillate having a final boiling point below 200 DEG  C., and it is preferably preheated to be partially or completely vaporized before mixing with the gas. The oxidant may be added to the gas separately from the oil or mixed therewith.  Valves in an oxidant supply line and in an oil supply line may automatically controlled respectively by a pyrometer in the zone and by a calorimeter in contact with the cold carburetted gas.  Non-automatic control may be used, pyrometers and calorimeter being indicating instruments only. Residence time in the zone may be 2 to 10 seconds, and the lean gas may be one at 700 DEG  to 800 DEG  C. produced by catalytic reforming with steam, or may be one at 450 DEG  to 500 DEG  C. leaving a catalytic carbon monoxide converter.  The pressure in the zone may be atmospheric or above, e.g. 10 p.s.i.g.

A steering mechanism for tractordrawn implements which are hitched to the tractor by laterally spaced draft links allowing relative lateral swinging between the tractor and implement comprises a steering handle 26 which rotates, through a link 33, a shaft 20 provided with eccentrically mounted pins 18 which are attached to draft links on the tractor, rotation of shaft 20 causing angling of the implement with respect to the tractor. An earthengaging pin 21 serves in lever fashion when the implement is angled to interact with the soil to cause a primary lateral displacement effect and by interaction with the soil due to the forward tractive force to cause a secondary rudder effect which laterally displaces the implement. As shown the draft links are hydraulically operated and an upper link is connected to the structure 12, 13. A tension spring 17 is connected to the rear of the tractor and serves to counter-balance the over-hung weight of the implement and operator who is provided with a seat mounted on beams 28.

[Class 91] Mineral oils and petroleum hydrocarbons, e.g., lubricating oils, motor fuels, petrolatums and petroleum waxes are stabilized against oxidation by the addition of a small amount of a tertiary alkyl ether of a monohydroxy phenol having at least two nuclear alkyl groups, and in which either two of the said alkyl groups are primary or secondary or one is tertiary and the other is primary or secondary other than methyl. Preferably the etheric tertiary alkyl group contains 4 or 5 carbon atoms ; in the case of the first class of phenol ethers, a secondary alkyl group is preferably in o-position to the ether linkage and a primary alkyl group containing 3 to 6 carbon atoms in the p-position, whilst in the second class, the tertiary alkyl group is preferably in the o-position and the other alkyl group in the p-position, both alkyl groups containing 4 or 5 carbon atoms. Lists of suitable ethers are given, of which the tertiary butyl ethers of o-ethyl-p-cresol and o-secbutyl-p-cresol are typical. Figures showing the effect of various inhibitors of the above classes upon the oxidation of a petroleum turbine oil are given and a comparison made with the effect of the corresponding phenols and of other phenol ethers. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also describes the use of the above phenol-ethers for the stabilization of vegetable and animal oils.
